Semantic Clustering of Morphologically Related Chinese Words

چکیده
A Chinese character embedded in different compound words may carry different meanings. In this paper, we aim at semantic clustering of a given family of morphologically related Chinese words. In Experiment 1, we employed linguistic features at the word, syntactic, semantic, and contextual levels in aggregated computational linguistics methods to handle the clustering task. In Experiment 2, we recruited adults and children to perform the clustering task. Experimental results indicate that our computational model achieved a similar level of performance as children.

Semantical Clustering of Morphologically Related Chinese Words
A Chinese character embedded in different compound words may carry different meanings. In this paper, we aim at semantic clustering of a given family of morphologically related Chinese words. In Experiment 1, we employed linguistic features at the word, syntactic, semantic, and contextual levels in aggregated computational linguistics methods to handle the clustering task.

متن کاملUnsupervised Clustering of Morphologically Related Chinese Words
Many linguists consider morphological awareness a major factor that affects children’s reading development. A Chinese character embedded in different compound words may carry related but different meanings. For example, “商 店(store)”, “商品(commodity)”, “商代(Shang Dynasty)”, and “商朝(Shang Dynasty)” can form two clusters: {“商店”, “商 品”} and {“商代”, “商朝”}. In this paper, we aim at unsupervised clusteri...
متن کاملThe Impact of Semantic Clustering on Iranian EFL Advanced Learners’ Vocabulary Retention
This study investigated the impact of semantic clustering on Iranian EFL learners’ vocabulary retention at advanced level. Participants were female learners randomly assigned to two groups of 15. Four instruments (TOEFL test; vocabulary pretest; immediate posttest, and delayed recall posttest) were used. The experimental group underwent semantic clustering vocabulary presentation in which the l...
متن کاملWord clustering effect on vocabulary learning of EFL learners: A case of semantic versus phonological clustering
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of word clustering method on vocabulary learning of Iranian EFL learners through a case of semantic versus phonological clustering. To this effect, 80 homogeneous students from four intermediate classes at an English institute in Torbat e Heydariyeh participated in this research. They were assigned to four groups according to semantic versus phon...
متن کاملUnsupervised Sense Clustering of Related Chinese Words
Chinese words which share the same character may carry related but different meanings, e.g., “花錢(spend)”, “花 費(expend)”, “花園(garden)”, “開花(bloom))”. The semantics of these words form two clusters: {“花錢(spend)”, “花費(expend)”} and {“花園(garden)”, “開花(bloom)”}. In this paper, we aim at unsupervised clustering of a given set of such related Chinese words, where the quality of clustering results is t...
